IndiaBioScience is dedicated to providing a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, or religion. We do not tolerate harassment of event participants in any form. All communication should be appropriate for a professional audience including people of many different backgrounds. We expect participants to follow these rules at all event venues and event-related social events.

Speakers and Presenters: Sexual language and imagery is not appropriate for the event venue, including talks and posters. Sexist, racist, or exclusionary jokes are not acceptable.

ACTION Attendees asked to stop any harassing behaviour are expected to comply immediately.

If an attendee engages in behaviour that violates this code of conduct, the conference organisers may take any action they deem appropriate, including warning the offender or expelling him or her from the premises with no refund.

Conference staff members are there to help participants contact appropriate authorities, provide escorts, or otherwise assist those experiencing harassment to feel safe for the duration of the conference. We value your attendance.

CONTACT If you are being harassed, have noticed that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact a member of the conference staff. Conference staff will be wearing specific badges. Ask them to put you in touch with a member of the IndiaBioScience team or one of the conference organisers.

If the matter is especially urgent, please call/contact any of these individuals: details to be specific for events.
